Fruit enzyme (Chinese 水果酵素) is a collective
term for the liquid made by various fermentation processes, to
claim that this liquid contains enzymes from those fruits. There is
no scientific analysis offered to show what is actually in this
liquid other than a high alcohol content and fruit juice residue.
"Fruit enzyme" is quoted on the internet as being made by adding
lemon and sugar
to pieces of other fruit and letting it ferment at room temperature
for 2 to 3 weeks. The resulting liquid is then decanted,
refrigerated and consumed within 1 month, the dosage being about
30ml taken 1 hour before or after meals[1]
and said to be beneficial for various ailments. Fruit enzyme preparation
instructions usually specify that ingredients and utensils should
be thoroughly air-dried in an attempt to avoid
contamination by various molds[2]
which can cause food
poisoning.[3]
According to the Chiropractic
community the human population carries toxicants, which are
manufactured chemical toxic compounds.[4]
Crinnion (a chiropractor who believes in the use of alternative
medicine) said “Promoting proper digestion and elimination can
dramatically reduce the amount of antigens and endotoxins in your
patients’ systems.” The digestive system is the main place where
the body battles toxins and toxicants, and if the digestive system
is not functioning correctly then the human will feel ill in many
situations,.[4]
Taking digestive enzymes can create the use for ATP for
digestion allowing ATP to be used in other systems in the body
creating a well working body in general.[4]
